Travaughn Zyshonne Williams, affectionately known as Tray, was born Oct 14th 1999 in Sikeston, MO to Kameisha Campbell-Owens and Floyd Frierson. He was 26 years old at the time of his passing.

Tray was an amazing person and always a joy to be around, no matter how quiet, reserved or mysterious he often came across. He had the largest, brightest smile, and gave the best, tightest hugs ever. His favorite color was orange, he was an avid video game enthusiast, and loved comics, martial arts, anime, Pokémon and WWE wrestling.

Tray graduated from Charleston High School Class of 2019 where he was in JROTC, Color Gaurd, played baseball and ran Cross Country on the Track Team. Since graduating, he held down a steady job, first in Charleston where he grew up at Country Mart, and then, after he moved to KC MO, he worked at Guitar Center where he worked his way up to a supervisor position and continued to work at until the time of his passing. He received several Employee of the Month awards, loved his job and was a very dedicated, responsible hard worker. Responsible was a great way to describe Tray at anything.
